the stage, sixers were the only team that he chose to work out for, what makes him such a special player, his ability to handle the ball like a guard. he happens to be six-ten, 240 pounds, so is the big strong fast player, which is very rare, and he thinks highly of the 6ers, known breath brown for very long time. brett actually coached his father. >> grade own earth, great players, young team, and of course great coaches, brett brown. so i think once we stop playing, we'll come together. i had a good feeling when i was working out there, good vibes, so looking forward to it. >> so, just a very, very exciting night here, in brooklyn, this could be the most important draft, the sixers have ever had, and with that, let's sends it back to philly, and, don, and some very excited fans, i'm sure.
